Found this in the comment section on a sad YouTube video.It's so sweet

  Little Girl: Whats on your arm?

 Me: They're battle scars. 

Little Girl: You fought in a war? 

Me: Yeah. A long and hard one.

 Little Girl: Thats so cool! Can I get one? 

Me: No. Please do not ever get any. But I'll tell you what. Whenever you see someone else with battle scars, I want you to go give them a hug, okay? Can you promise me? 

Little Girl: Yes, I promise. 

 A few days later we went to a short shopping spree. Suddenly the little girl let go of my hand and ran up to another random teenager. 

 Teen: Why are you hugging me? 

Little girl: Because... points you have battle scars just like my babysitter. 

 The teen looks up at me, and I roll up my sleeve to show her. With tears in her eyes, she says one thing to me... 

 Teen: My war is far from being finished yet, but I'm not done fighting. 

She bends down at eye level at the little girl 

Teen: Thanks for giving me the strength to keep fighting. You are forever my war hero.
